Without being a come out and catch it style keeper, he still always seems in control and a calming influence. A big upgrade on Burge.Absolutely excellent keeper and a real find for a free transfer, I can see why Donny offered him another deal. I’ve heard it said that he doesn’t make spectacular saves but the one at Oxford was unbelievable. Nearly snuffed out their second today with excellent closing down. Claims everything he comes for. Most off all though it’s his distribution, a proper outlet for the defenders playing as a sweeper and sets the tempo for the good passing work throughout the team.
I agree, we’ll get caught out I’m sure, and it might cost us points, but what a pleasure to see how we played it out from the back. And the fact that they had used their 3 subs and went down to 10 men was perhaps evidence of their fatigue after chasing shadows throughout the second half. We need to accept that the odd mistake may be made, as a result of playing out from the back.Will inevitable concede a couple of silly goals but it’s worth it for the way we end up playing. At least there is a logic to it rather then Burge just deciding he fancies throwing one in his own net.
Why? He’s great and a huge part of the style of play. Robins has done a super job bringing him in. Why would I need sympathy for our team improving and I never said I wanted Burge to stayPoor Pete
Was at Pompey game and I thought he was dodgy for their first two goals too but watch the second again and the Pompey cross hits the toe end of the defender and goes over Our keepers outstretched arm. He’s a good goalkeeper one our defence can trust which goes a long way.For league 1 he is an excellent keeper, especially on a free.
It’s inevitable he will get caught out at some point, but the calmness and way he passes it out is a joy to watch.
Thought he could have done better with 2 of the Pompey goals but apart from that he has been excellent.
To be fair Burge wasnt a bad shot stopper but every time the ball went near him we as fans had our hearts in our mouths because we didnt know what fuck up was on the horizon so christ knows how his team mates felt, its great we can relax and somewhat enjoy the games more these daysGood keeper. And also finally a keeper we don’t really need to talk about. Just a proper keeper and not a disaster waiting to happen every 45 minutes.
His distribution is the main thing that sets him and our previous few keepers apart
The defence obviously trust him as they’re always giving him the ball. It’s so pleasing to see us under pressure at the back and to calmly pass the ball about between them until one comes away with it in space. These late goals must have something to do with the other teams being knackered after being passed to death.
I can already hear the shouts of "you don't piss about with it there" when we inevitably concede from it.It’s an adjustment for me to not panic slightly when we are in that situation. Every bone in my body screams “put your foot through it”.
4-4-2 etc
His passing stats must be phenomenalHe seemed to pass it out more yesterday than previous games I've watched when he was putting a foot through it when under pressure.
Wouldn't be surprised if he's actually better on the ball than Robins thought so has given him licence to do that.
He is very good with the ball at his feet
Wilson is also a great keeper from what I’ve seen, made some spectacular saves on Tuesday.
Not sure he’s as good with his feet though which is Marosi’s biggest asset.

I think we are at least 4 Points ahead of where we would be if Burge had stayed.
And 2 leagues aheadand 15 points ahead than if slade had stayed
Lazy question from me - what is Stockdale doing now? Did he get a move, and if so, who to?
